The crème de la crème of goalkeeping coaches in Linz

The first KEEPERDAY in Linz brought together an impressive group of goalkeeping coaches who passed on their expertise to the young up-and-coming talent.

Jaromir Pitak: Basic technique and reaction time

Jaromir Pitak , former goalkeeping coach of the Czech U17/U19 women's national team and goalkeeping coordinator of the Czech Football Association , traveled from Lower Austria specifically for the event. He normally works exclusively with professional players, but on this Sunday he focused specifically on basic technique, handling low balls, and improving the young goalkeepers' reaction times.

Diego Rougier: Opening step and positioning

Diego Rougier , the long-time goalkeeping coach of the men's team at the Upper Austrian league club ASKÖ Oedt , returned to the coaching team. The Argentinian focused his work with the younger participants on the crucial initial step and correct positioning of a goalkeeper.

Markus Bachofner: Coordination and opening up play

The older young goalkeepers had the exclusive opportunity to hone their coordination skills and essential playmaking abilities with Markus Bachofner (former goalkeeper coach of the women's Bundesliga team in Spratzern, now SKN St. Pölten) .

Thomas Missbichler: Mentoring the youngest talents

Thomas Missbichler , former goalkeeper at the regional league club SK St. Magdalena, completed the top-class coaching team on this sunny morning and took dedicated care of our youngest participants to ensure they also had an optimal start to goalkeeper training.
